Tips for the kindergarten transition:

👉 Talk about the transition (unless this causes anxiety).

👉 Take them shopping and let them pick out a backpack, new clothes etc. to get them excited.

👉 Matchmake if possible (introduce them to their new teacher and as the adult talk to the teacher so they know he or she is safe).

👉 Bring a comfort item from home to have something that brings them comfort.

👉 Don't sneak away when dropping them off. Always say goodbye even if they are having a hard time.

👉 Always focus on the next connection. For example, "When I pick you up we will have lots of cuddles and go to the park". This makes it easier to hold on when apart.

👉 Allow lots of 1:1 connection time after school.

👉 Let them help pick out an outfit and help pick out snacks for their lunch.

👉 Read them a book beforehand about the transition.

👉 Get them a bracelet that you can both wear or draw a heart on both of you and tell them to touch it when they miss you and you will do the same.

🤍 This is a big transition so expect lots of emotion. This is very normal. They will get used to it soon enough. It is often times more hard for us as mamas so allow yourself time to have big feelings as well.

There's no rush to move your baby into their own sleep space. Most babies sleep better in proximity to their caregiver. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends room sharings for at least 6 months and ideally until to 1 year to lower the risk of SIDS.
